NEWS: Social Distancing Language Is Being REMOVED from the Disney World Website

It seems like Disney World is undergoing constant changes these days.

Cinderella Castle

Today, the mask requirement ended in most circumstances for fully vaccinated guests, and we got news that fireworks are returning to the parks SOON. But as safety policies continue to shift, we’ve noticed an important change on the Disney World website.

The Disney World website lists all of the current health and safety procedures throughout the parks, such as mask-wearing, sanitation, and more. A screenshot from today highlights several components — but social distancing has been removed.

As a reminder, “physical distancing” used to be one of the icons on this webpage. There also used to be a larger chunk of text detailing what social distancing entailed throughout the parks, which you can see below. Now, the website only says that physical distancing is being altered due to “recent trends and guidance.”

One of the big changes at Disney World today was the elimination of mandated social distancing, in most cases. While some experiences and entertainment will continue to distance guests, we are seeing markers removed from queues, shops, and more. It seems like these shifts are now officially recognized on the website, with the removal of social distancing language.

Guests are now less socially distanced on the Jungle Cruise

If you’re visiting Disney World soon, know that social distancing will not be largely enforced throughout the parks. We’ll continue to bring you the latest news as things continue to change, so stay tuned to DFB!

PHOTOS: Temperature Checks End in Disneyland

As of June 15th, the state of California has fully reopened its economy, effectively ending most pandemic-era restrictions on businesses and in public areas.

It was previously announced that temperature checks would no longer be required for Disneyland Resort guests or Cast Members beginning on June 15th. Out-of-state visitors are now allowed inside the parks, and masks are no longer required in most cases for fully vaccinated guests. With updates to the health and safety protocols now in place, we headed out to Disneyland Resort to see these changes in action.

Prior to this change, temperature check stations were set up at the entrances to the Disneyland Resort property.

But as of today, all temperature check stations have been removed.
